all about cookies

Last weeks cookie: Slice and Bake Chocolate ChipThey were a big hit. (I added 1 tsp of vanilla)And proved to be a great dunker. Important around here.

This weeks cookie: I'll let them take their pick.I am so bummed I forgot to order some samoas. Maybe next week I will try the homemade version here. And then perhaps the homemade do-si-dos, homemade tagalongs and homemade thin mints. Yes, definitely the thin mints, because it is another slice and bake. I seem to be all about the slice and bake.

speaking of slice and bake, i tried the dunkin platters. they were extremely hard to slice. should have i crushed the corn flakes a bit? or used my mixer?? i mixed that batter by hand (don't ask me why).

and we've got a selection of girl scout cookies coming home with the husband from work. good thing i ordered the kinds i won't eat!

Oh my goodness - you Girl Scout cookie shop like I do.... But I am still waiting (not so patiently) by my door for mine to be delivered. I'll probably scare the poor child, bursting out my door, with drool on my face and a crazed look in my eye...

I spent the first 20 years of my life refusing to eat Girl Scout cookies, because I was a Camp Fire Girl. We sold CANDY, not cookies. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "No, we already bought girl scout cookies"... well, I'd have several dollars. But then someone convinced me to try a samoa. Oh dear. So, so, so good.

My mom works in a pretty industrial part of town. Next door is the local Girl Scout council and down the street is this HUGE warehouse. Every year the GS go and do their ordering and packaging there. I've always wondered home much time I'd have to do if I hijacked a truck full of Tagalogs! YUMMY!

So many cookie recipes...so many calories. Oh i just love these recipes and the idea of slice and bake is really great. Love the recipe for the thin mints - will definately try them. Thanks for always sharing such yummy recipes with us.

Are these slice and bakes soft or chewy? I have yet to find a chewy choco chip slice and bake... I did not allow myself any GSCookies this year. I just can't do it. I could eat a box in a sitting, maybe not of thin mints, but definitely samoas.
